Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign
(Inactive)

This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.

After a bit of planning it's time to get going towards the docks. Well, maybe time enough for one more mead or ale. As you head outside the streets are busy with town criers, merchants, workers and customers.

I will assuem the following marching order unless told otherwise:
duncan and John in row 1; Orsin and Faelyn in Row 2, Lucrezia and Andrea in Row 3; Sunny pulling up the rear (20 feet behind).

Here is the map for the docks. Your group is coming in from the left and they are heading towards the right hand side, that is where you have set the ambush. You have not run into Shinon or any of his guards for House Grulios, yet. That is not unexpected.

I've place only three NPC' on the map but the docs are others on the dock, these NPC's are the guards that Sunny and Fiosa ran into. The ship they are guarding is the one being loaded by the crane.

Visually you see the docks are winding down for the day. The dock workers know they only have a limited amount of daylight left. The docks are generally lit at night, and there is some limited amount of workers during the night shift, but it's not the ideal shift to be working. The shadowbeast have ventured to the alleys near the docs so, people are nervous. The docks you are heading to are suppose to be lit.

You can see four dock workers placing "the cargo" on the dock in the designated area, S34 and S36 on the map. You can see a few other hands on the lower wharf and on the three nearby ships (on the right hand side of the map). So far you have seen any sign of Shinon and his guards.

"Now remember, it'd be a good time for someone to make their move while are hands are on the cargo to load it and not on our weapons. So I hope no one minds if I don't help with the loading and keep a watch with my bow out, just in case."

Sunny skips along, "Then t'is a good thing I dun't need anything specific, like, t'fo whut need bein' done, hey?" She impishly grins to Lucrezia, even as she continues to happily bounce around behind the group. Her leather gloves and 'boot sandals' about the only thing (Besides her modest shirt and skirt) that she's wearing. For today's 'fun' she has various pouches and bags affixed around a broad belt.

You seem to be good at moving around, making sure we don't get surrounded and such. John here is our front line fighter and Duncan likes to get side-by-side with him to increase defense. So if thugs concentrate on them, you could jump around back and thump them proper.

There be a team and wagon near where we came in. Sunny, would ye take Ermolos and see about hiring it.
He looks at the workers unloading.
A few extra coins fer yer aid dragging this lot t,the end o the dock? Ye got a trolley don't ye?

As they say, 'You have to be crazy to be in this line of work'. An easily distracted elf, a hysterical priestess, a recklessly charging dwarf and a mysterious fighter. Looks like we are made for each other.
